“You gotta laugh because if you didn't you'd cry”

“You have to laugh at yourself sometimes, cause you'd cry your eyes out if you didn't.”

“You laugh at me because I'm different, I laugh at you because you're all the same.”

“They laughed much harder than the memory was funny because it felt good to laugh.”

“So many of the very funny things are very natural, we do them all every day. They’re just that little bit heightened, which is what makes you fall on the floor when you’re doing it. Sometimes we can’t finish a take because we’re laughing too much, and sometimes you see the cameraman chuckling and we have to do it again. Not having done many comedies, that must be the sign of a very funny script!”

“In Ankh-Morpork you can be whoever you want to be and sometimes people laugh and sometimes they clap, and mostly and beautifully, they don't really care.”

“Everything is funny, if you can laugh at it.”

“Laughter, Susannah would later reflect, is like a hurricane: once it reaches a certain point, it becomes self-feeding, self-supporting. You laugh not because theare funny but because your ownis funny.”

“Sometimes living can be hard, but it's only because we're alive that we can make each other laugh, cry… be happy! In this world, if that's not a reason for being born in this world… I don't know what is!”
